The science and practice of diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases.
Scientists Develop DNA-Based Biocomputer
Researchers from Johns Hopkins University and North Carolina State University have developed a functional computer based on DNA instead of traditional electronics. This is detailed in a study published in Nature Nanotechnology. The tested technology can perform multiple functions such as storing, computing, retrieving, erasing, and rewriting data. Previous attempts at DNA-based data storage and […]India Utilises AI to Detect Tuberculosis
A team of researchers in India has begun employing a Google AI model to detect tuberculosis by analysing coughs. This is detailed in a report by Google Research. In March, Google launched Health Acoustic Representations (HeAR) — a bioacoustic model for analysing sounds and detecting early signs of diseases. It is trained on 300 million […]AI-Powered Robots Perform First Dental Surgery
An autonomous robot equipped with artificial intelligence has conducted a full dental procedure for the first time, according to New Atlas. The Boston-based company Perceptive employs a handheld 3D scanner to create a detailed model of a patient’s mouth, including teeth, gums, and nerves. This is achieved using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Example of OCT. […]AI Advances in Parkinson’s Disease Diagnosis
Researchers from the University of Florida have developed an AI system that effectively monitors the progression of Parkinson’s disease through patients’ hand movements. The scientists trained the artificial intelligence to analyze rapid tapping of the thumb and index finger. The neural network can detect even subtle changes that are difficult for humans to perceive, enabling […]Chinese Scientists Develop Robot with Lab-Grown Brain
Chinese scientists have developed a robot equipped with an artificially grown brain, capable of learning various tasks. This was reported by SCMP. Researchers from Tianjin and Southern University of Science and Technology have devised a brain-on-chip technology that integrates a brain organoid with a neural interface chip to power the robot and teach it to […]AI Achieves 98.2% Accuracy in Cancer Detection
A new artificial intelligence model has identified 13 different types of cancer with an accuracy of 98.2% based on DNA data from tissue samples, according to a study. The AI model, EMethylNET, was developed by experts at the University of Cambridge in the UK. Researchers trained the neural network to detect structures and pathways of […]MIT Develops AI Model for Medical Image Analysis
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed an AI model to identify ambiguous results in medical images. According to the developers, even with the use of neural networks for diagnosing diseases from X-rays or MRI data, there is always a risk of errors. This is due to the possibility of images being […]We use cookies to improve the quality of our service.
